Rangers head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu has branded his team’s performance in Sunday’s 4-3 defeat to Katsina United as “not acceptable.”
The former Heartland and Plateau United manager is pained that after his team scored thrice on the road, they ended up conceding four times to lose the game and also lose their unbeaten run which was snapped at their attempt to make 11 games undefeated.
However, Ilechukwu promised to work on the lapses of his side, as they return back to their base in Enugu where they are billed to play hosts to southeast rivals Abia Warriors this Saturday.

“I think it was a great game today for both teams. Scoring three goals in an away game is not an easy one but conceding four goals is not acceptable in football,” Ilechukwu told Rangers media.
“I am so sad about that, but we can only move on as today’s game is gone. All we need to do is to psyche the boys up identify the challenging area and make the corrections going into our next game.”
Despite their 4-3 defeat at Katsina United, Ilechukwu and his men still top of the standings in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) albeit by superior goals difference ahead of second-placed Lobi Stars who are also on 51 points.
